Next (to improve their solubility in water or their afiinity for certain fibers) the dyes may be made to undergo certain changes such as:

In order to improve their solubility in water or their affinity for certain fibers, these dyes may be changed in the same way as previously described in discussing the dyes corresponding to formulas I and II.

The dyes according to the present invention may be advantageously used in a great number of industrial applications. They may be used, for example, in the textile industry and more particularly for dyeing keratinic fibers. A particularly profitable field of application in this last area is their use for dying hair.

It is known that the technique for dyeing different natural and synthetic fibers is based on the use of a greater or smaller number of individual dyes used collectively. The action of such mixtures during the dyeing often poses serious problems, particularly as concerns the harmonization of the different aflinities of dyes used simultaneously and harmonization of the speed with which they act on the fibers and of their fastness to washing.

Consequently, users frequently discover significant difficulties as much from the point of view of the formulation of these mixtures as from the point of view of their application. Use of dyes according to the invention partly solves the problem since a single dye has the tinctorial properties of the two dyes from which it was formed.

Moreover, dyes according to the invention have a considerable advantage over the so-called dispersed dyes which have until now been used for dyeing hair.

Indeed, in the technique presently used to dye hair, methods of using derivatives of nitroparaphenylene diamine dyes normally used to dye wool and more precisely so-called dispersed dyes, as color adjusting dyes in conjunction with direct dyes, have long been sought. But the results have always been poor, both because these dyes have a low afiinity for keratin (under conditions for dyeing hair) and because they are not resistant to washing.

Now applicants have found that the dyes according to the invention are superior to dispersed dyes both with respect to their increased resistance to washing and to their afiinity.

These same advantages of better resistance to washing and of afiinity are found when they are compared to dispersed dyes with respect to use of the dyes in the presence of solvents such as butylglycol and benzyl alcohol. It should be noted that this latter process is currently used in capillary dyeing.

The dyes according to the invention have a series of advantages which go with their molecular weight, which is rather high.

In capillary dyeing the problem often arises of hair which is already somewhat discolored over part of its length. Consequently, there are two types of fibers present, which has always posed a difiicult problem, that of selectivity with respect to the affinity of the dye for these two parts.

Now, use of dyes according to the present invention leads to an even color all over the hair. This property is due to the high molecular weight of these compounds and to their lesser penetration of the discolored portion which is known to be very easy to tint with the usual dyes.

In the same way as above, a parallel case may be presented in which the hair has previously been given a permanent. In this case also, when there are two different portions present, one already given a permanent and the other (the root) natural, the first being easier to dye than the second, an uneven color may result.

One advantage of the dyes according to the invention is that they can provide a uniform color for such hair.

It has been noted by applicants that these dyes work very well in the case of dyeing highly discolored hair, as is often encountered in practice, and that they yield very satisfactory results.

Since these days are polyfunctional compounds, they offer a wider range of possibilities for all sorts of reticulation and condensation reactions, and may consequently constitute worthwhile intermediates for use in synthesis.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a new tinctorial composition for keratinic fibers and particularly for hair, essentially characterized by the fact that it contains at least one above-indicated soluble dye AB in aqueous solution.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a process for dying hair essentially characterized by the fact that over a period of about 5 to 30 minutes a coloring solution according to the invention, such as that defined above, is applied to the hair at a temperature of between 15 and 35 C. and that the hair is then rinsed and dried.

Of course the coloring compositions according to the invention may also contain different ingredients presently used in dyeing keratinic fibers, such as, for example, organic solvents, thickeners, detergents and lacquers. The concentration of dyes according to the invention may vary over a wide range, but this concentration should preferably lie between 0.1% and 3%. If desired, any other soluble dye conforming to the invention or any other dye known and used for dyeing keratinic fibers such as, for example, nitrated dyes and their substitution derivatives ar azo and anthraquinone dyes may be added to any of the soluble dyes according to the invention.

In the dyeing process according to the invention, the coloring compositions are preferably applied to the hair at room temperature. The pH of these coloring compositions is kept between 4 and 1,0, and preferably between 6 and 9.

In order that the invention may be clearly understood, several methods of synthesizing dyeing compositions according to the invention, and several methods of using such compositions to dye the hair will now be described, purely by way of illustration and example.
